In April 2015 (more inside) Sons of Norway members enjoy a very special place ❦ I n s i d e near Alta, CA. Cultural skills classes including rosemaling take place several times a year.

Look for more Help Wanted CRA EDITOR information for the fall 2015 class to be announced. Announcements & More June 2015 www.califrosemaler.org No. 124 President’s Message Dear Rosemaling Friends, Thank you all so much for the beautiful card and plant. I can't tell you how much the many cards and notes on Facebook have meant to me. Losing my husband so suddenly and unexpectedly has been so shocking and enormously hard and sad for me. Turning my mind to painting hasn't happened quickly or easily. Bjorg Klevi was in Vista for a class organized by Joyce Field a couple/three weeks ago. She stayed with me and, of course, I took her class. It was a blessing to pick up a brush and paint again. I'm including pictures of two of the three pieces I painted in her class. Well, mostly she painted them... This past weekend Astrid Fisher and I went to demonstrate Rosemaling and promote CRA at the Scandinavian Festival at Cal Lutheran. We went and stayed in her motor home. It was an adventure for both of us. I'm not used to a motor home, but Astrid kindly took care of me and walked me through it. Hundreds of people came to our demonstration area and were very interested in what we were doing. We referred dozens of people to the Scandinavian House on the edge of campus as they have Rosemaling lessons going on. Others within CRA may get inquiries as many were Two pieces RuthAnn painted in Bjorg Klevi's class from other areas. If we know you teach in a certain area, we likely gave out you name. This year's application form asks if you teach and, if so, where. We feel a great need to begin collecting that information as we get questions all the time asking where people might find lessons in their areas. Please join me in registering for our upcoming convention in San Diego. It will be another great opportunity to gather among friends and, together do something we all love. Many hugs, Ruth Ann Bjorg Klevi June 2015 www.califrosemaler.org No. 124 Meet our CRA Board Members Meet Jurene While 2015 CRA Board Jurene is one of the founders of CRA, and also a President Ruth Ann Petro VGM!
